  • Title: Perineural involvement of squamous cell carcinoma presenting with formication.
    Author: Lane JE, Williams MR, Kent DE.
    Journal: Cutis; 2010 Mar; 85(3):121-3. PubMed ID: 20408508.
    Abstract:
    Perineural involvement of a cutaneous neoplasm marks an aggressive feature. Tumors with perineural involvement share an increased propensity for local invasion via perineural spread. Formication may be an indicator of perineural involvement by cutaneous neoplasms. We present a case of an 82-year-old man with perineural involvement of a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) identified by clinical symptoms of formication. Successful resolution of these symptoms was achieved with radiation therapy.
